eSHa PRO-PHYLL™ - AQUATIC PLANT FOOD
NUTRIENT PACKED PLANT FOOD - FOR FLOURISHING PLANTS
What is PRO-PHYLL?
Many nutrients required for healthy plant growth are not present in
the aquarium. An aquarium is an ‘artificial’ environment and therefore differs from the conditions that plants and fish are used to in the
wild. PRO-PHYLL is a unique combination of nutrients and fertilisers
for freshwater aquatic plants specially formulated to improve plant
growth, colour and condition. PRO-PHYLL provides your plants with
the nutrients they need and are used to in the wild. PRO-PHYLL has
been specially formulated for easy adsorbtion by plants through their
leaves and roots.

How do I know when to use PRO-PHYLL?
SICHER
LEICHT
PRO-PHYLL should be used regularly to prevent nutrient depletion and
ensure quick growth of healthy green plants. Quick growing green
plants such as (Nomaphila stricta, Cabomba, Vallisneria etc.) can produce small, pale leaves.
Use PRO-PHYLL to promote lush leaves and strong vegetation yet maintain rapid plant growth.
PRO-PHYLL can also be used if your plants suffer from poor growth, lack of green leaf colour (chlorophyll), and pale or slimy leaves. PRO-PHYLL effectively raises new or young plants whilst maintaining
healthy mature vegetation.
What use are plants in my aquarium?
A flourishing, planted aquarium looks beautiful
and encourages your fish to display their natural
colours.
Your fish will be happier in a healthy planted aquarium as many fish are used to plants in the wild.
Plants provide them with essential ‘hiding-places’.
Plants help maintain a healthy biological balance
by producing Oxygen and using up Carbon Dioxide (the bi-product of fish respiration) during photosynthesis.
Plants also absorb ammonia / nitrates and help
suppress algae which would otherwise be detrimental for your fish.
How do I keep my plants in good health?
Approximately 70% of aquarium plants draw their
required nutrients directly out of the water through their leaves. The main function of the roots is
to serve as an anchor in the soil. Plants need sufficient light (approx. 2 watt/dm2), minerals and salts
to grow properly. The growth of plants is dependent on what nutrients are available and the lack
of one or more nutrients leads to pale colours, insufficient leaf development and general poor health. Most plants need the same growth materials
in similar proportions and PRO-PHYLL provides a
comprehensive package of nutrients for a wide
range of aquatic plants.
What precautions must I take when using
PRO-PHYLL?
PRO-PHYLL is safe for use with all freshwater aquatic plants, fish and filter media. It is nitrate free so
it will not encourage algae growth. It is beneficial
to dose PRO-PHYLL after completing your regular
water change.

Water Changes?
It is generally not necessary to do a water change
before or after using PRO-PHYLL. However, there
are a few exceptions where a partial water change
should be carried out:
1 In the case of poor water quality. Regular testing with eSHa Aqua Quick Test can identify water
quality problems in time to take corrective action
when needed.
2 If you are close to your regular water change.
3 If using any water conditioners. These can have
a negative effect on nutrient supplements.
Interactions (with chemically active substances)?
Chemically active substances, such as (fresh) active
carbon, excessive use of dechlorinators, UV, oxidizers, etc. can degrade or remove this product.
Which causes the effectiveness to decrease. In that
case remove active carbon etc. and perform a large
water change.
Sediment?
You may notice flake-like sediment forming in
your bottle of PRO-PHYLL.
This can form under certain conditions and results
because there are no artificial preservatives in
PRO-PHYLL.
The sediment is a natural compound, is totally
harmless and will not affect the performance of
PRO-PHYLL.
The sediment dissolves harmlessly in your aquarium.
Storage:
It is recommended to store this product at room
temperature. Do not store below freezing.
